Morecambe take on Crawley Town on Wednesday night looking to make it three games unbeaten in League 2 after a win over Macclesfield and Saturdays 1-1 draw at AFC Wimbledon.
The Red Devils were not in league action at the weekend, instead they were entertaining Premier League Stoke City in the FA Cup. There was to be no shock however, as the Potters ran out 2-0 winners despite going down to ten men. In their last game in League 2 Crawley went down 3-0 at fellow promotion rivals Swindon Town.
Morecambe won the last meeting 6-0 to go top of the league in September. Most will be expecting a much closer game this time around!
